Each second we live
Brings us a second closer
To when we will die

Same with death from natural
Causes that surely happens!

Tanka T155
You don’t get used to
Near death experiences –
You have to savour –
Each one as if it might be
Your last as it just might be!

If life were a game –
I want to be greet at
The Gates of Heaven –
By the Angels telling me
“Well played, Mr. Tan, well played!”

What if you could sell –
Time which you had left to live –
In chunks as you wished?
Without being allowed to
Know how much time you had left

Haiku for Stephen Hawking
A universal constant –
Was lost today with
Stephen Hawking’s death

Pi Day Without Stephen Hawking
Pi Day
Without Stephen Hawking –
Is dismal –
Like pi
Without the decimals –
Or pie –
Without the filling

Without legacy –
How will I be different?

It was about time –
20-16 took the life
Of someone I loathed –
Among the many I loved –
Good riddance Fidel Castro!

One Stanza Poem O182
Remembering those who fought or died –
In the war from where –
My family and I had to flee –
And remembering those who fought or died –
In the wars for where –
My family and I could be free –
A sincere thank you from me
